Climate change and biodiversity loss are accelerating, intensifying, and threatening planetary balances. Among the causes we can influence are our production and consumption patterns, with plastic serving as a striking example. Indeed, 460 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide each year, nearly half of which is intended for single use. According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, without immediate action, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050.

The international community is therefore clear: all actors, both public and private, at all levels and in every link of the value chain, are called to act in a global and coordinated manner to combat plastic pollution.
